N'ECKTIE ATTACHMENT.

Specification pf Letters Patent. Application filed September 5.1906.Serial No. 888.313-

To all whom 'it may concern:

'Be it known that I, JOHN GROSSGEBAUER, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of NewJersey, have invented a new and Improved Necktie Attachment, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact 1 description.

-1ng device will beentirely concea ed.

-A further purpose of the invention is to provide an attachment of thecharacter described which will be exceedingly sim 1e, and which can beconveniently and satis actorily applied to any scarf or tie withoutdetracting from its appearance or interfering with the washing of thearticle if it be made of a washable'material.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of theseveral parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth and pointed out inthe claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part ofthis specifi cation, in which similar characters of referenceindicate'corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure lis a front elevation of a portion of the bosom of a shirt andthe tie having its apronsyturned over to display the attachment, thedotted lines indicating the manner in which the attachment is held tothe bosom of a shirt, and the relative position of such point ofattachment to the longitudinal central portion of theapron; Fig. 2 is atrans verse section through'the apron of a made-up or tied scarf, itsattachment, and a central part of the bosom of a shirt, and illustratesthe application of a clip to the open portion of the bosom and, to theattachment; Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section taken on line 33 of Fig. 1through a portion of the inner apron of a scarf and through theattachment carried thereb and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a metaloop for attachment to the scarf as a substitute for the loop made of apliable material".

A and A represent the longitudinal sections of a bosom 0 en at thefront, the overlapping edges of t e said sections bein designate as aand a, and they are best s own in Fig. 2, said overlapping edges a and abeing as usual at the central front ortion of the bosom. B represents ascarf 0 the four; in-hand type, which maybe either tied or made up, andcomprises the customary band 10, knot 11 and outer and inner aprons 12and 13. A loop 14, preferably of a pliable material is longitudinallysecured at its ends to the under or inner face of the inner apron 13 of.the scarf as is shown in Fig. 1, the attachment being made aboutcentrally between the side edges of said apron, and also preferably at apoint adjacent to the end of the apron. But if in practice it is founddesirable the loop 14 may be placed at the central portion of said apron13, or at any point in the length thereof.v

.The loop 14 is ada ted to be engaged by the jaws of a clip or 0 amp 15of any desired type, which clip or clamp 15 will hold the loop 14 firmlyagainst the outer face of the section A of the shirt bosom at itsoverlapping edge a, as is particularly shown in Fig. 2, and in soholding the 100 to said bosom section A the inner longitu inal ed e ofthe loop is parallel with the longitudina edge of the overlap in ortiona of said section A, as is shown by full lines in Fig. 2 and by dottedlines in Fig. 1. It will thus be observed that a tie provided with theattachment described may be secured to the bosom of a shirt in suchmanner as to lie and be held perpendicularly over the central verticalportion of the bosom while the fastening device employed is entirelyconcealed.

In Fig. 4 I have shown a slight modification wherein the loop designatedas 16 is constructed of a strip of material having its ends stepped fromits body and fitted for attachment by sewing or otherwise to the tie orscarf. The ends of said 100 may or may not be stepped as is founddeslrablc in practice.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, v

A scarf or tie having the inner apron thereof provided on its inner facewith a longitu- 5 dinelly extending loop adapted to receive a member ofa clamp to secure the scarf or tie to a shirt bosom.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscrib' Witnesses.
